Linkwithin is a great tool for webmasters to show related posts link below the post to reduce the bounce rate and increase pageviews. I was using linkwithin in my blog and one day I noticed a great looking related post widget with attractive thumbnails on labnol.org I thought Amit agarwal, author of the blog labol, made this widget by himself. But the link on the widget was like traffic.outbrain.com/blablablab.
So I googled the keyword “outbrain” and got the following:
I entered the site, registered and pasted their widget code on my blog’s template. The appearance and the thumbnails of the widget is more elegant than linkwithin and many bloggers reported that linkwithin work faster than outbrain but I don’t notice any difference in speed.

When you log into dashboard on their site they have a section called “Blog Reports” which gives valuable information about your site like how much click and pageviews you have received through your outbrain related post widget and these features are lacking in linkwithin.
They support platform like wordpress, blogspot, typepad, drupal, squarespace and they also have a javascript code which is universal and can be installed on any platform.
